Temple of Congregation B'nai Jeshurun, located at 2061 South 20th Street in Lincoln, Nebraska, is a Byzantine and Moorish Revival synagogue completed in 1923–1924. Built for the Reform Jewish congregation founded in 1885, it replaced an earlier synagogue at 12th and D Streets. The design was executed by the architectural firm Davis & Wilson, while Meyer G. Gaba, a mathematics professor at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln and congregant, designed the distinctive dome. The interior arch was crafted by wood-carver Keats Lorenz. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.
